Growing number of Quebecers seeking healthcare in Ontario

Many people living west of Montreal are choosing to head to Ontario when they need emergency health care.

With a new hospital in Vaudreuil on hold, families say emergency care at the Lakeshore General Hospital is either too far away or too overcrowded.

Instead they are going to Ontario and seeking care in Hawkesbury or Alexandria.

Kim and Judah Sschaap saw when either of their two children fall ill, finding a doctor is a bigger problem than it needs to be.

"When my daughter got sick over Christmas I felt panicked as to where I was going to take her. Pediatricians are closed, the Montreal Children's Hospital is on TV saying please don't come," said Kim Schaap.
